"We are unable to defeat them, so let's retreat first!" Great Monk Ren Mu shouted.
Even though his previous attack seemed very easy, he actually used a lot of the power of rules and added it to the ice needle.
But the effect was not ideal. He originally estimated that each ice needle could kill at least hundreds of marching demon ants.
But in fact, the damage caused by an ice needle was only to kill five or six marching demon ants, and the ice needle had consumed all its energy.
Looking at the tens of thousands of marching demon ants and the faint aura of more marching demon ants coming from afar, he had no confidence in fighting these marching demon ants.
"We can't escape!" The Phoenix Palace Master summoned the scarlet-gold phoenix and said helplessly.
At this time, the figures of marching demon ants appeared from all directions, blocking all directions for the three people to escape.
"Fellow Daoist Li, is there any solution?" Great Monk Ren Mu turned to look at Li Yuanba and asked.
But he knew that Li Yuanba was extremely powerful. If he wanted to escape from the encirclement of the marching demon ants without paying a price, it would depend on Li Yuanba's combat power.
"Simple!" Li Yuanba said with a smile.
As his mind moved slightly, the 'Thunder Sound Bell' appeared above his head.
Then the 'Leiyin Bell' rang, and the thunder sound emanated from the 'Leiyin Bell' in all directions.
The marching magic ants possess extremely strong defensive capabilities, as can be seen from the fact that only five or six of the third-grade marching magic ants can offset an ice needle from the great monk Ren Mu.
But the biggest weakness of this kind of spiritual insect is the strength of its soul.
The soul strength of spirit insects is not very strong. They are much weaker than spirit beasts of the same level, not to mention human cultivators of the same level.
The 'Thunder Sound Bell' is the nemesis of the marching demon ants. The shock wave caused by the thunder sound swept through the marching demon ant colony, and all the marching demon ants fell into the sea wherever it passed.
The thunder sound continued to expand outward, and the area with a radius of ten thousand meters centered on Li Yuanba was indiscriminately attacked by the thunder sound.
Fortunately, Li Yuanba intentionally controlled the thunder sound and did not attack Palace Master Feng and Great Monk Ren Mu.
The two great monks stared blankly at everything that was happening before their eyes. From the moment the large group of marching demon ants appeared, they knew that there would be big trouble today.
The best outcome would be to use life-saving items and escape from here in a panic. It is even possible to die on the spot if you are not careful.
But the two men saw that Li Yuanba killed the marching demon ants with just one strike.
No matter whether it is the third-grade marching demon ant or the fourth-grade marching demon ant, they will have the same ending under the thunder sound.
"Is this the 'Leiyin Bell' of the Great Leiyin Temple?" Palace Master Feng recognized the 'Leiyin Bell' and asked in surprise.
"It's my trophy. I got it from the Great Master Minghai of the Great Leiyin Temple when he and the great monks from the other four super powers teamed up to ambush me last time!" Li Yuanba explained the origin of the 'Leiyin Bell'.
Although the 'Leiyin Bell' is the greatest treasure of the Great Leiyin Temple, Old Jian appeared and blocked the Bodhisattva of the Great Leiyin Temple.
As long as Li Yuanba doesn't show off the 'Leiyin Bell' everywhere every day, using the 'Leiyin Bell' privately is not a big deal.
Doesn't the Great Leiyin Temple know that the 'Leiyin Bell' is in Li Yuanba's hands?
Of course they knew. This involved a game between powerful people. When the powerful people didn't say anything, the Leiyin Temple pretended not to know.
Palace Master Feng and Great Monk Ren Mu were even more shocked. They also knew some details about the attack, but they did not expect that in that attack, Great Master Minghai of the Great Leiyin Temple used such a precious treasure as the 'Leiyin Bell'.
The most crucial thing is that even after using the precious treasure 'Leiyin Bell', Great Master Minghai still failed to defeat Li Yuanba, but lost his life instead, and even the 'Leiyin Bell' fell into Li Yuanba's hands.
The two peak great monks were silent for a while. They both doubted whether they were still peak great monks, or whether they were worthy of calling themselves peak great monks.
Li Yuanba was also a top-level cultivator, but the swarm of marching demon ants that the two men could not face was destroyed in a moment by Li Yuanba.
Moreover, I heard from Li Yuanba the details of the battle between the great cultivators that shook the Central Plains and even the world of immortal cultivation, which made Li Yuanba seem even more mysterious and powerful.
"It seems that I made the right decision to ask Fellow Daoist Li for help. With Fellow Daoist Li's help, it will be easier to obtain the materials!" said Master Feng Palace with a smile.
"I'll do my best!" Li Yuanba waved his hand and replied.
The crisis was resolved, and the three top monks returned to the flying boat. The female monks in the flying boat looked at Li Yuanba with more gratitude in their eyes.
They all knew that if a peak great monk was unable to deal with the marching demon ants, he would have the ability to escape, but they did not have that ability.
Li Yuanba eliminated the marching demon ants, which was equivalent to saving their lives.
Another point is that Li Yuanba's face was too perfect, which made the female cultivators very excited.
In other words, Li Shiming's positioning for his clone Li Yuanba was to practice hard and provide the original body with corresponding combat and cultivation experience. Li Yuanba had no intention of finding a Taoist partner at all.
The flying boat started sailing again, but at a much slower speed, and the scanning array on the boat was fully activated.
The flying boat in invisible state is not very effective against spirit beasts, because spirit beasts have special perception abilities. Just like the marching magic ants before, the marching magic ants were completely attracted by the energy of the flying boat.
Even though the auras of so many female cultivators were hidden by the flying boat, they were still so clear in the perception of the marching demon ants.
In fact, Palace Master Feng knew in her heart that no matter how powerful the spiritual beasts and insects were, it would not be a problem with Li Yuanba around.
But she was also proud. She didn't want to rely on Li Yuanba for everything. At least when she was capable, she still wanted to do things on her own.
She didn't want to owe Li Yuanba too many favors. As the Palace Master of Luanfeng Palace, if she really owed too many favors, it would make it difficult for her to do some things.
After several more days of sailing, no more spirit beasts dared to attack the flying boat.
This is a normal thing. Not all spirit beasts would be as crazy as the marching demon ants and dare to attack the flying boat carrying three peak great monks.
"The target is in the sea ahead!" Palace Master Feng stood on the deck and pointed into the distance.
Li Yuanba activated his 'Divine Vision' and saw that the sea area pointed out by the Phoenix Palace Master had darker water than other places, and was strangely distinct.
The Divine Eyes were extremely sensitive to energy, and he also saw strange energy fluctuations faintly on the dark sea surface.
"Fairy Feng, have you been here before?" Li Yuanba asked Palace Master Feng.
“No, I found it from the palace’s inheritance books. A senior from the Luanfeng Palace found this place and was seriously injured by six golden-clear ice crystal beasts. He fled back and recorded this place before dying due to his serious injuries!
I found this record when I was looking for a material!" Palace Master Feng did not hide it and explained.
"Something's not simple here!" Li Yuanba shook his head and said.
He was still using the 'Divine Eyes' to observe, while communicating with IBMz15 to analyze the sea ahead.
According to the results of IBMz15's analysis, there should be an ancient ban in the sea ahead.
The dark color of the sea water is the result of the ancient prohibitions.
"Although the six fourth-grade late-stage golden-clear ice crystal beasts have some strength, they should not be your match, right?" asked the great monk Ren Mu in confusion.
He had seen Li Yuanba's strength. Not to mention six fourth-grade late-stage golden-clear ice crystal beasts, even if there were twice as many, they would not be able to withstand a round of attack from Li Yuanba's "Thunder Sound Bell".
After seeing Li Yuanba's terrifying strength, he thought that the invitation from Master Feng Palace was just a trip.
"It's not the problem of the Golden-Clear Ice Crystal Beast. There is a very ancient restriction in this sea area!" Li Yuanba expressed his judgment.
"Ancient prohibition, could it be that there are relics left here by some powerful person?" Great Monk Ren Mu's eyes lit up and he asked in surprise.
If it really is the remains of a powerful being, perhaps we can gain the legacy of the ancient powerful being.
When he reached the peak level of a great monk, all he wanted was to be promoted to a half-step great power.
Zhongzhou Trading Company has a tradition of promoting people to half-step great powers, but looking at the current proportion of half-step great powers being promoted to great powers, you will know how dangerous it is to be promoted to half-step great powers.
Most of the cultivators, after being promoted to the half-step great power, would go into seclusion until their lifespan runs out.
The legacy of the ancient powerful beings is somewhat different from the current inheritance, and can play a role in the promotion to a half-step powerful being from another perspective.
Moreover, there are always some secret methods in the legacy of ancient powerful beings that can play a decisive role at critical moments.
"I'm not sure!" Li Yuanba shook his head and replied.
“There is no information about ancient ruins in the records in the pavilion!” Palace Master Feng also shook his head.
Like Master Ren Mu, her eyes flashed with excitement after hearing about the possibility of the existence of ancient ruins.
IBMz15 was unable to find information about the ban on the sea area ahead from the database, and IBMz15 could not provide any support.
Of course, if we enter the dark sea area, perhaps IBMz15 can obtain more data and maybe analyze the restrictions.
"We should go in first and take a look at the situation!" suggested Palace Master Feng.
"Okay!" Li Yuanba and Master Ren Mu said in unison.
"Leave the flying boat here and let's go in!" said the Phoenix Palace Master as he flew out of the flying boat.
Li Yuanba followed him out of the flying boat, took a look at it, shook his head, and threw out more than a hundred fourth-grade formation flags to protect the flying boat.
He thought about it and shot out another sword light.
The sword light containing the "Chaos Sword Intent" emitted a faint glow above the flying boat.
This was the second precaution he took. If a powerful spirit beast came and broke through the defense and isolation formation arranged by the fourth-grade formation flags, it would see solidified sword intent and sword light floating above the flying boat.
This solidified sword intent and sword light is not just for display to scare people, but after the formation is forcibly broken, the sword light will unleash all its power to attack the invading enemy.
Palace Master Feng looked at Li Yuanba's arrangements, and a look of gratitude could not help but appear in her eyes.
The three top monks flew to the boundary between the dark sea water and the light sea water. They stepped across the boundary line and entered the dark sea.
"There's something wrong with the space here. I feel like a collapsed cave!" When Li Yuanba entered the dark sea, through personal experience and his own spatial ability, he had some guesses about this dark sea.
The cave has lost its master. If the master leaves any corresponding orders, the cave will act according to the orders issued by the master.
Some powerful beings will turn the caves into their own tombs. Although these caves will remain for a long time, they cannot be occupied.
Without the master's order, the cave will collapse.
The time of this collapse process varies depending on the cave.
Li Yuanba suspected that the sea area here was the result of the collapse of a cave heaven left by a certain powerful person. This resulted in the appearance of a sea area in the world of immortal cultivation that was restricted by the rules of the world of immortal cultivation and acted upon by the orders of the remaining cave heaven.
The space here is slightly different from the space outside. He tried to use the divine power. Although it was a bit difficult, he was still able to use it.
"This place is indeed a little special. I feel that the power of water spiritual energy has been suppressed by one third!" Great Monk Ren Mu frowned and said.
Being in the ocean, his water-related abilities were enhanced, allowing him to discover changes in the water-related spiritual power in his body.
"Be careful, my spatial ability is also limited!" Li Yuanba reminded.
"The strength here is indeed suppressed, and my strength has been restricted to one third!" The Phoenix Palace Master summoned the Scarlet-Gold Phoenix, felt it for a while and said.
Li Yuanba was better than them, perhaps because his 'Chaos Sword Intent' was not restricted in any way, or because the wind energy of his 'Eye of the Storm' was not suppressed in its power.
'Chaos Sword Intent' shouldn't appear in the realm of great cultivators, and the wind energy of 'Wind Eyes' is even more so, this is a completely weakened version of the might of the wind element.
Although the strength is limited, this further proves that there are some secrets here.
"Feng Xianzi, get the materials you want first, and then we will explore here!" said the great monk Ren Mu.
He and Li Yuanba were both invited here by the Lord of Feng Palace. Although this might be an ancient relic, they had to complete the Lord of Feng Palace's business first before considering anything else.
"I agree!" Li Yuanba nodded.
"Thank you very much, both of you!" Master Feng bowed and expressed his gratitude.
No matter how many secrets there are here, she has to consider it after she gets them. The materials that Palace Master Feng wants are related to her promotion to a half-step great power. In her opinion, nothing is more important than this matter.
She cast two spells, and Li Yuanba took the spell flying towards him, which contained a map.
The map can guide everyone to a place where the target mission materials are located.
Li Yuanba's sword flew out, and the 'Chaos Sword Intent' was more than ten times stronger than before. He was ready for battle.
When I encountered the marching demon ants before, I had no choice but to use the 'Thunder Sound Bell'.
If he had not used his treasure at that time and only relied on his own strength to fight the marching demon ants, he would most likely have become the food of the marching demon ants.
